Holmes Inspection Company

Where do I begin! We’re new to the area, trusted our realtor and we got screwed over by this company. I’m more upset with myself for not researching enough. Needless to say I would never suggest or advise anyone to use this company. I had a problem because first he performed the inspection while the previous home owner was in the home. I felt very uncomfortable because I feel that some type of bribery or mischief could’ve happened to interfered with his judgment or maybe even paid him something to not give a complete and accurate inspection of the home. The day of moving into the home, the toilet in the master bath would not stop running or trickling I’ve constantly beat myself up because I should’ve looked in there and stopped to listen but I was more worried about the low pressure of the sink. In addition to the toilet, as days have progressed, there’s a clogged sink, the phone jacks don’t work, they’re broken, and there’s a sprinkler head leak.
when we received our first water bill, it was ridiculously exorbitant for four people. I went outside to check the meter while all water was off and I noticed the dial was still moving. I began to notice that there were issues with the home once we moved in and feel as though these things should have been what the inspector brought to our attention. Furthermore, I feel as though we, being new to area and 1^st time home buyers, we were taken advantage of by the seller and the home inspector which happens to be Mr. Holmes himself.
When asking the seller to get a plumber he refused but that should’ve been our way of saying walk away. I would not advise, refer, or suggest anyone to use this company.
We’re looking at money out of our pockets because of his lack of experience.
